As the UConn men’s and women’s basketball teams toured the State Capitol on Husky Day, Governor Dannel P. Malloy took another shot at the NCAA, and its decision to ban the men’s team from the 2013 NCAA tournament. Governor Malloy’s basic criticism is the retroactive nature of the rule:

“They want to have the highest [academic] standards, and we support that — we also want extremely high standards. But no one else would make a rule and apply it retroactively. I don’t think the public understands that.”
